TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Director James Gray admitted to Empire magazine that he had to compromise with the studio on the ending of the movie to get the film green-lit and even with a major star/producer like Brad Pitt on board they still struggled for years to get it made.

Unlike several contemporary films where CGI is used to depict the spacecraft and the vast space, director James Gray decided to use practical effects like models and props for the spacecraft exterior shots. Also, instead of using CGI for planets, he decided to use still images to portray the surface of the planets. This same technique was used in 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968).

Clifford McBride says that he has cataracts and has trouble seeing. Cataracts are one of the projected health problems linked to exposure to solar radiation during an extended period in space.

When Roy reviews the Top Secret message given to him by Colonel Pruitt, the filename is shown as 6EQUJ5. Astronomy fans will immediately recognize this as the character string representing the so-called "Wow!" signal heard by a radio telescope listening in the direction of the constellation Sagittarius in 1977.The real-life Wow! signal, which was similar to what might be expected from an intelligent extraterrestrial source, has never been explained - and has never been heard again.

The title means "to the stars" in Latin. It is often used as a shorthand for "Per Aspera Ad Astra" (Through adversity to the stars); less often for "Per Ardua Ad Astra (same meaning), which is the motto of the Royal Air Force. This phrase lingers from the sentence ("Humanity looks *to the stars* for intelligent life and the promise of progress.") just before film's title (emphasis added) appears.

Popular Dialogues

"Roy McBride: [Last lines] I'm steady, calm. I slept well, no bad dreams. I am active and engaged. I'm aware of my surroundings and those in my immediate sphere. I'm attentive. I am focused on the essentials, to the exclusion of all else. I'm unsure of the future but I'm not concerned. I will rely on those closest to me, and I will share their burdens, as they share mine. I will live and love."

"H. Clifford McBride: We need to find what science tells us is impossible. I can't have failed. Roy McBride: Dad, you haven't. Now we know. We're all we've got."
